Abstract

Background: This study examined the mediating role of teachers' personality traits and moderating effect of teaching experience in the relationship between school culture and teachers' opinion toward gifted education. This study enhances our understanding of how individual and contextual factors influence educators' attitudes, providing novel insights into teachers' psychology within the field of gifted education.

Method: Across-sectional design was employed, involving 319 Malaysian teachers (84 males, 235 females) aged between 25 and 60 years.

Results: findings revealed that personality traits significantly mediated the relationship between school culture and teachers' opinions, while teaching experience moderated this association. Specifically, school culture had an indirect influence on opinions via personality, and the negative impact of school culture on opinions diminished with greater teaching experience.

Conclusion: These results underscore the importance of personality traits and experience-based training in shaping teachers' attitudes toward gifted education. The study offers different theoretical and practical implications, emphasising the interaction between personal disposition and school culture in fostering support for gifted students.

桥梁资优教育与学校文化：人格在塑造学校文化与教师对资优教育的看法中的中介作用。

背景：本研究考察了教师人格特质在学校文化与教师资优教育观关系中的中介作用和教学经验的调节作用。本研究增强了我们对个体和环境因素如何影响教育者态度的理解，为资优教育领域的教师心理提供了新的见解。方法：采用横断面设计，纳入319名年龄在25 ~ 60岁的马来西亚教师（男84名，女235名）。结果：人格特质在学校文化与教师意见的关系中起显著中介作用，而教学经验在这一关系中起调节作用。具体而言，学校文化通过个性对意见产生间接影响，学校文化对意见的负面影响随着教学经验的增加而减弱。结论：这些结果强调了人格特质和经验训练在塑造教师对资优教育态度中的重要性。本研究提供了不同的理论和实践意义，强调个人性格和学校文化在促进对资优学生的支持方面的相互作用。
